How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

Fellini constructs an elaborate, dreamlike voyage aboard a 1914 cruise ship where mourning, music, and human connection collide with the encroaching violence of world war. It's a melancholic carnival of a film, ornate and reflective, mixing comedy with genuine pathos as history interrupts a floating world.
